The boot manager itself runs without an OS. Hence Grub is platform-agnostic. The configuration tool for such boot manager however does need an operating system. A DOS version of the grub configurator exists. I haven't ever tried it, but heard it works. http://sourceforge.net/projects/grub4dos Myself, I only ever used a custom boot manager a few times, and it was one called 'BootIt NG'. I recall it worked pretty well, but it was somewhere 15 years ago, when I played with multi-booting FreeDOS, Windows 98 and some Linux flavors. Apparently BootIt NG is still out there: http://www.terabyteunlimited.com/bootit-next-generation.htm Mateusz ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Go from Idea to Many App Stores Faster with Intel(R) XDK Give your users amazing mobile app experiences with Intel(R) XDK.
